ENGLISH
"Azuleikal" is a remarkable artwork from Marie De Decker's "Eternal Portraits" series. It features a young girl of African origin, met by the artist during a stay in Mauritius, rendered in a tender and gentle portrait, embellished with a sublime adornment of 24-karat gold and precious stones. The child's benevolence is captured through her gentle smile, making the image touching and magnetic.
The artist uses a unique combination of photography and digital image editingto create a transcendent visual experience. In the portrait, Azuleika is depicted not just as a child but also as a timeless deity, a representation of the pinnacle of eternal existence. Delicate details, such as the finely drawn and handcrafted relief necklace, add visual complexity to the image. The necklace harks back to ancient Egypt, creating a powerful visual link between past and present. Indeed, lapis lazuli stones were highly prized by Egyptian pharaohs.
De Decker's use of gold is characteristic of her work and adds a radiant, supernatural quality to the overall composition. This is enhanced by navette 4*7mm cabochon lapis lazuli stones, which complement the girl's blue outfit and reinforce the antique aspect while remaining decidedly modern. This exceptional work illustrates her skill in blending old and new, traditional and technological.
The artwork is elegantly framed in a 55x75 cm frame crafted by a Luxembourgish artisan, which showcases the piece without detracting from its emotional impact. An additional touch of sophistication is provided by the inclusion of museum glass, known for its ability to virtually eliminate reflections. This non-reflective quality preserves the vibrancy of the artwork, allowing viewers to fully immerse themselves in Azuleika's gentle gaze, undisturbed by external distractions.
"Azuleikal" is not just an artwork, but also a timeless memento that immortalizes the sweetness and divinity of youth. This sophisticated blend of modern printing technology, traditional art techniques, and meticulous application of gold makes it a remarkable artwork that truly embodies the eternal essence Marie De Decker seeks to capture in her "Eternal Portraits" series.
FRANCAIS
"Azuleika" est une œuvre remarquable de la série "Portraits Éternels" de Marie De Decker. Elle présente une jeune fille d'origine africaine (jeune fille rencontrée à l'île Maurice par l'artiste) dans un portrait tendre et doux rehaussé par une sublime parure composée d'or 24 carats et de pierres précieuses. La bienveillance de l'enfant est capturée par son doux sourire, rendant l'image touchante et magnétique.
L'artiste utilise une combinaison unique de photographie et d’image digitale pour créer une expérience visuelle transcendante. Dans le portrait, Azuleika est dépeinte non seulement comme une enfant, mais aussi comme une divinité intemporelle, une représentation du summum de l'existence éternelle. Des détails délicats, comme le collier finement dessiné et réalisé à la main en relief, ajoutent une complexité visuelle à l'image. Le collier évoque l'Égypte antique, créant un lien visuel puissant entre le passé et le présent. En effet les pierres lapis-lazuli étaient très prisées des pharaons d'Egypte.
L'utilisation de l'or par De Decker est caractéristique de son travail et ajoute une qualité radieuse et surnaturelle à la composition globale. Elle est rehaussée par des pierres de type cabochon lapis-lazuli navette 4*7mm, qui complètent la tenue bleue de la fillette et renforcent l'aspect antique tout en restant résolument moderne. Cette œuvre exceptionnelle illustre son habileté à mélanger l'ancien et le nouveau, le traditionnel et le technologique.
L'œuvre est élégamment encadrée dans un cadre de 55x75 cm fabriqué par un artisan luxembourgeois, qui met en valeur l'œuvre sans détourner son impact émotionnel. Une touche supplémentaire de sophistication est ajoutée par l'inclusion de verre de musée, connu pour sa capacité à éliminer pratiquement les reflets. Cette qualité non réfléchissante préserve la vivacité de l'œuvre, permettant aux spectateurs de s'immerger pleinement dans le doux regard d'Azuleika, sans être dérangés par des distractions extérieures.
"Azuleika" n'est pas seulement une œuvre d'art, mais aussi un souvenir intemporel qui immortalise la douceur et la divinité de la jeunesse. Ce mélange sophistiqué de technologie d'impression moderne, de techniques d'art traditionnelles et d'application méticuleuse de l'or en fait une œuvre d'art remarquable qui incarne véritablement l'essence éternelle que Marie De Decker cherche à capturer dans sa collection de "Portraits Éternels".
